Ayaan walks himself to school each morning and decided that it's the perfect time for an inspiring mantra. The chant goes as follows:
“I am smart. I am blessed. I can do anything!”

And if life gets you down, just remember that Ayaan is here to cheer you up. He knows that you are smart, you are blessed, and you can do anything.
